Mystery Moth 27/6/13

I had a good catch of moths on Mynydd Bodafon, Anglesey last night. 150 moths of 46 species was a good total. In the trap was this individual, which I'm really not sure about...maybe some kind of Brocade or 'Arches sp.? Pretty well marked but I cant find anything which fits. A dark form of Clouded-bordered Brindle?

Few more

A couple from the last 2 days, lunar thorn, poplar hawkmoth and flame shoulder.

Eye eye

Only one new moth last night with a spectacle eyeing up R&R's in Colwyn Bay. White and buff ermines there also.

And 2 more

A white ermine was new in at R&R in Colwyn Bay while at home what I'm pretty sure is a Freyer's pug was caught last night.

Couple more

Couple of NFY last night with marbled coronet and buff ermine while over at Colwyn Bay at R&R's had common grey micro Scoparia ambigualis which was a new record for us.

Remarkable night, Tuesday.

Trap full; probably will exceed 55species. Took me all day to identify those I could and there are still a number which are still just photos. Couple of showy ones below.

Catch included 5 Elephant Hawk, Small Elephant Hawk, Poplar Hawk and Eyed Hawk.  Hope to show more soon but off to Skokholm today.

good mix last night
